1910ref. 11861Doubleday Page and Company. New York. 1910. FIRST SEPARATE EDITION U. S. Precedes the first U.K separate edition by 4 years. Oblong 8vo. 4.4 x 6.4 inches. 8 double leaves uncut at the top of the pages. Each double leaf has a dark green rule and dot border the text printed in black with green initial letters. Half title has "IF" printed in green within an ornamental black panel the same printed onto the front board but in red with the addition of the author's name. This version with the green colour printing is Richards' variant a. The text pages are clean and fresh and have been professionally re-cased into the binding but without the blank endpapers otherwise a very good copy in the publishers original light brown paper covered boards; - Richards' binding variant iii a- with a couple of small chips and some rubbing and bumping to the spine and a little minor marking to the rear board but overall is a very good example. The Publishers note on page 5 appears in four different variants with priority unknown and this copy has variant ii. Despite being re-cased this is an attractive and clean bright copy of this uncommon little book. Published probably November 1910 very shortly after the Poem first appeared in the book Rewards and Fairies October 1910 this separate publication was issued to capitalise on the huge and instant popularity of what has become Kipling's most enduring work of verse. A poll taken by the BBC in the UK in 2005 voted it as Britain's favourite Poem polling twice as many votes as the number 2 choice Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot. Originally written in 1895 IF was inspired by the actions of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson a British Officer whose forces were defeated by the Boers in 1895 but who was portrayed as a victorious hero by the British press the poem is a powerful masterclass in maintaining the British stiff upper lip. --- David Alan Richards; Rudyard Kipling.

1937ref. 7813London: The Macmillan Co 1937. The Sussex Edition. Very Good . One of 575 numbered sets signed by the author in the first volume. Leaves measuring 240 x 160 mm with the set occupying 141 cm 55 in of shelf space. A Very Good set. Bound for the publisher by James Burn & Co. in full reddish-brown Niger morocco. Double ruled in gilt. Spine in six compartments with raised bands. Top edge gilt. Sunning and speckling to some spines and some rubbing to raised bands and edges. Very clean throughout. Printed in Edinburgh by R&R Clark Ltd. on handmade paper. The Sussex Edition which has become the most desirable collected edition of Kipling's works was edited by Kipling himself and including two volumes of previously uncollected prose. The edition published the year after Kipling's death was intended as a complete retrospective on Kipling's career and the definitive edition of his works. The superbly produced set of course includes Kipling's most lauded fiction - The Jungle Book Kim and Just So Stories - as well as his poems and nonfiction capturing the scope of his literary output. A contemporary review in the Times Literary Supplement lauded the production: "The publishers are justified in the use of the epithet 'superb' to describe this edition. The fine hand-made paper and Bembo type are equally satisfactory but perhaps the binding is still more notable. It is.Niger leather lettered and simply ornamented in gold. The volumes.are comparatively slim and so easy to hold; and they have an air of durability and of being meant for reading as well as for keeping which is not always the case with éditions de luxe."

Slight wear to the spine ends and corners of The Jungle Book a little foxing internally otherwise very clean and fresh throughout. A Very Good copy.

Both volumes illustrated throughout with contributions by J. L. Kipling W. H. Drake and P. Frenzeny in The Jungle Book; the author's father Lockwood Kipling C.I.E. illustrated The Second Jungle Book. This set contained in a custom blue cloth slipcase. Few books have shaped the imagination of childhood quite like Kipling's Jungle Books. First published in 1894 and 1895 these two volumes introduced the world to Mowgli Baloo Bagheera Kaa and Shere Khan. The timeless stories blended fable folklore and imperial adventure into one of the most enduring classics of English literature. The Jungle Book 1894 includes the first appearance of "Mowgli's Brothers" "Kaa's Hunting" and "Tiger! Tiger!" alongside such favorites as "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." The Second Jungle Book 1895 continued the talesdeepening the Mowgli cycle and adding enduring pieces like "The King's Ankus" and "Red Dog." Together the two books form the complete Mowgli canon. First edition sets in original cloth are increasingly scarce especially when both volumes present well. These are the foundational works of Kipling's career - the stories that earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature 1907 and secured his place in the canon of English storytelling. Based on folktales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India the Jungle Books were met with huge success upon publication and continue to enthrall readers of all ages to this day. According to Professor Edwin L. Miller their publication "caused even severe critics of Kipling's previous work to admit that he is a writer of inspired genius." Largely focused on man's relationship to nature the Jungle Books in part narrate the tales of Mowgli a human "man-cub" raised by wolves as he tries to find his proper place in the world. As he struggles with his own identity he finds allies and adversaries among the animal communities through which he travels. They also include the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the heroic mongoose who would later inspire an animated short voiced by Orson Welles. For contributions like these Kipling became the first English-language writer and the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Very Good Near Fine. Macmillan and Co unknown
